"Everybody's got to believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer."

Iwould have thought the longest name was
Paradise By Way Of Kensal Green .

I thought the pub’s full title was ‘I am the only running footman’ which is still shorter than ‘Paradise by way of kensal green’.
Mobyduck is correct that The Old Thirteenth Cheshire Astley Volunteer Rifleman Corps Inn is the longer, but it isn’t in London.
WE ARE THE BREADMEN - UP THE BEES
I visited The Old Thirteenth Cheshire Ast....whatever, back in the 80s when it was managed by a seriously miserable old landlady who could curdle water just by looking at it. Looking at that photo things have changed a fair bit! That's "Stalyvegas" for you I suppose.
Well if you go outside that lunnen there's bound to be a pub on Anglesey called the "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyll-llantysiliogogogoch Arms"
Personally I'm rather fond of an Adnam's pub, the Cock in Clare. Fnnarr fnnnarr woo woo yip yip!!!!
A couple of years ago when we were looking to stay in Broughton-In-Furness I tried to look the pub up on my work laptop.
Without thinking I searched for Black Cock Inn Cumbria. (I know, I know)
The red warning screen lit up and I got a message from our Web Master asking what the hell I thought I was doing on the company network.
The name has amused me ever since, we never did stay there either.
Black Cock Inn
A pub is for life not just for Christmas
